For Your Hands: Toolbox Tip of the Week

From The Power of a Check-In (9 Types of Virtual Check-Ins) | John Spencer

1. Social-emotional pulse check: could be done lots of ways (warm up activity, chat box, drawing in front of camera, break out rooms); could use questions like "How are you doing with virtual learning" or "Tell me 2 wins and one disappointment for the week"; many creative options for response types.

2. Video updates: short, weekly pre-recorded messages from you talking about what students will do during the week, etc.

3. Video check-ins: have students send you a video of themselves as a check-in; may provide questions / prompts for them to use; gives them the chance to edit before sending.

4. Surveys: have students complete brief weekly surveys (3-5 ?s) about how it's going.

5. Scheduled conferences: short video one-on-one conferences with students (rotating through a few each week) to guide reflection and/or SEL checks.

For Your Head: Distant Physically, Not Emotionally 
(Joseph F. Johnson, Jr., Ph.D., Cara Riggs, Ed.D., & Jose Iniguez, Ed.D., National Center for Urban School Transformation)

"Ferguson (2002) noted that while all students tended to exert more effort when they perceived their teachers sincerely cared about them, he emphasized that Black and Latinx students were far more likely to work hard when they believed their teachers cared about them and their success in school. More than any other factor, NCUST has found compelling evidence that Black, Latinx, and Native American students, students from low-income or immigrant families, students with emerging bilingualism, LGBTQ students, students experiencing homelessness, students in foster care, students with disabilities, and many other students are likely to perform at high levels when they perceive that the adults they encounter at school care sincerely and deeply about them and their current and future wellbeing. As well, students are much more likely to excel, when they are convinced their teachers believe they are scholars, capable of learning challenging academic concepts and skills.

"We strongly believe that almost all educators care about their students. However, the key factor is the extent to which students (and all groups of students) perceive that their teachers care about them and value them. As well, a key factor is the extent to which students (and all groups of students) perceive that their teachers believe they are capable of excelling academically.

"In high-performing schools, teachers work deliberately to guide their students in believing that each student’s success matters greatly to them. As schools endeavor to utilize on-line learning opportunities, teachers will need to be even more deliberate in order to convince diverse populations of students that their teachers value, respect, and care about them and believe in their capacity to excel."
